If you want a “time travel” feature, your only option is to duplicate data.
Not true. Look at the --link-dest flag. Encryption, sure, rsync can’t do that, but incremental backups are fine and compression I handle at the filesystem level anyway.

Isn’t that creating hardlinks between source and dest? Hard links only work on the same drive. And I’m not sure how that gives you “time travel”.

Snapper and BTRFS. Its only adjusts changes in data, so time travel is just pointing to what blocks changed and when, and not building a duplicate of the entire file or filesystem. A snapshot is instant, and new block changes belong to the current default.
